The $1 Trillion Market Risk—And the Tool We Built to Track It

In Today’s Masters in Trading: Live LIVE: The $1 Trillion Market Risk—And the Tool We Built to Track It 2008 didn’t start with a crash. It started with stress hidden in places most investors weren’t watching. That’s the setup we’re seeing again today. Only this time, it’s not mortgages. It’s corporate credit and AI. Specifically, the trillion-dollar market of leveraged loans packaged into CLOs (collateralized loan obligations) – which product investors broadly hold. When AI disrupts these borrowers' revenue, they can't pay back their debts. Those losses don't stay contained. Right now, loan pressure is building in everything from pre-profit software companies to disrupted legacy businesses getting squeezed by AI and slowing demand. And it’s causing a massive chain reaction on Wall Street. CLO investors are selling off in droves. Other institutional investors are joining them for the exits as well. And that’s when credit spreads blow out while loan stress only builds. It’s the same basic setup as 2008 with mortgages. And just like 2008, your portfolio is taking hits whether you own CLOs or not. Fortunately for us, volatility is exactly where we live here at Masters in Trading. We’re looking for opportunities in the massive price dislocations and sector rotations happening right now. And I’m working on a special new tool that shows us exactly where this market stress is forming. It reveals 11 Federal Reserve signals that show where this marketwide chain reaction is starting, combined into a single risk score from 0 to 100. Today’s session is all about revealing the biggest sources of risk in the market – and the key setups we can use to help us stay a step ahead of any headlines. So join me for today’s episode of Masters in Trading at 11 AM EST, where I’ll break down why 2026 suddenly feels like 2008 all over again. I’ll break down the key risk indicators I’m watching in equities, bonds, and more. And I’ll show you how my new tool identifies the key volatility based setups we can rely on as markets break. P.S.
